Mooneschadowe Gulf War Camp Coordination

New today! This is a work in progress during crunch-time 2013, being Gulf War XXII. --Elsa (talk) 07:01, 1 March 2013 (PST)

Seneschal Oversight

All of the War Camp "offices" ARE responsible to report back to the Seneschal.
The Seneschal should be apprised of changes as they happen.
Where possible, the Seneschal should plan a Group Photo - try to coordinate that ahead of time.
Swearing in of the Guard:
- Usually at the Populace immediately preceding War
- Styles are as individual as people - some do a "swearing at" of the Guard. Some make it formal, some make it free-form.

Things to remind people about ahead of War (exclusive of packing):
- Vehicle maintenance - full fluid/filter (including oil) changes, spare tire in good shape!
- Check your membership card!
- Check your fighter authorization card
- Remember that the less space you (read: your tent) take(s) up at War, the more we have shared party space!
How Mooneschadowe Goes to War

It's usually the most sane thing to reserve the first Tuesday meeting after War as a "let's talk about it" time - not necessarily a post-mortem, but encourage people to tell stories and share pictures.
Ask for pictures to be posted someplace where people can see them.

Collect tent dimensions and door side(s), arrival date, period/mundane, number of people in tent
Set up camp upon arrival on site
Direct traffic to their new homesteads

Completely at the discretion of whoever's doing it. In past years, it's been very free-form. We've started to tighten up the ship when we've started having large camp attendance. Having a formal food plan lets people accommodate a tighter budget and a freer schedule - as well as social time!
Planning/posting a menu well in advance will help people provide feedback. In years past we've accommodated the following specifications:
- Vegetarian
- Diabetic
- Celiac
- Crohns
- allergic to chicken
It's advisable to place parameters on who all will be eating with us, ie, only people who let you know ahead of time, and maybe only people who camp with Mooneschadowe.
Creating a camp chores document will help everyone visualize the work required for running the Kitchen - and then they'll know where they can contribute. Jobs include:
- Ice in all coolers and Gott jugs
- Making Gatorade/Lemonade in the smaller Gott, Topping off the Big One with water
- Policing trash and armor in the main hang-out area
- Hauling trash to the "curb"
- Helping in the Kitchen for meals (particularly dinner)

omelettes, salsa, cheese
or whatever people want to make themselves. Someone should enforce the standard that everyone cleans up after themselves in the kitchen.

coolers accessible to everyone on the meal plan - basic sammich fixins: meat, cheese, bread, condiments
Sammich Ninjas are awesome and may materialize on their own, or they may need on the job training

hot cooked meals.
Bratwursts, shepherd's pie, tacos all go over well.
may get help from outside sources, but make sure they understand the money/space/time parameters

Coordinate with all students to make sure they're set for the following:
- Transportation to/from War
- Clothing
- Tentage
